Just a thought, because I know nothing about this particular tablet or battery, but a lot of battery packs have an internal microprocessor that helps monitor charging. If the new battery isn't giving the right information back, maybe the tablet's charger logic is defaulting to a very slow but safe rate?

Yup. We think a bit alike, it seems.

I am wondering something like that as well, but thanks for the point about logics and safe modes. If the power leads I see lead to little circuit board under the white cloth-type tape then probably there are similarly "thick" connections to the batteries themselves and it might not be a matter for magnification aided soldering with a special soldering iron. Or... I might mess it up and fry my high functioning batteries! Maybe my tablet too. Doh! I'll start with a consult in a repair shop. Hehe.

Any rate of growth (or shrink) is unsustainable. We have grown accustomed to rapid technological advance, economic growth, and cheap energy, not realizing that this is a special but extremely brief period of human history where this was possible. |

I have had my Samsung Galaxy S6 for over two years now. I need to see if I can clean out the charging port. Wireless charging works okay, but I am not impressed. A new charging port costs $8 and a new battery is $13, but replacing them seem pretty difficult. I prefer the directions that say to use a heat ray instead of the microwave.
I definitely prefer fixing something that works instead of replacing it, despite "helpful" people asking "why don't you just..."
Good luck!
